I don't know about now, but it was noticeably slower to use LVM than just EXT3 in a normal partition, on my old 500 MHz computer. There's always been a drawback in abstraction. Every hoop something has to jump through, is a bottleneck (yay, managed to mix two metaphors). You certainly noticed with older slower computers that having to go through a stack of routines to do something, rather than do it directly, has a detrimental effect. And while people say it's not noticeable with newer GHz processors, every slowdown builds up. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
